My notebook is a Lenovo ThinkPad E520, which I bought 7.5 years ago. 
It's still going strong, though I put in a larger hard drive.  I've had
a thing for ThinkPads ever since I worked at IBM in the late 90s and
most of my work was on them.

I bought my desktop computer about 13 years ago, but have upgraded the
mom board a couple of times and also disk drives.
